Our CYO programs seek to help children and teens foster strong principles of teamwork and sportsmanship both on and off the field, all while developing their physical talents, learning to play fairly and enthusiastically, and appreciating Christ’s presence in their opponents. Through programs and training linked to parish life, CYO offers young people, coaches and their families opportunities to work together in communion, showing the world a new vision of “competition” in sports.
